New AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Featurette And Plot Synopsis For The Pilot Released

Marvel have released an official plot synopsis for the first episode - "Pilot" - of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., along with a new featurette with the cast of the highly-anticipated new series discussing their roles and the world that the series is set in. Check it out!

Joss Whedon, the creative genius behind the feature film “Marvel’s The Avengers,” one of the highest grossing films of all time, and of the iconic television series “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” has co-created “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” a dynamic, action-packed one-hour drama that brings back Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) to lead a team of highly skilled agents to investigate extra-normal and super human people and events worldwide. The series premieres Tuesday, September 24 (8:00-9:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

These agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have a mission: To investigate the new, the strange and the unknown around the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary.

In the premiere episode, “Pilot,” it’s just after the battle of New York, and now that the existence of super heroes and aliens has become public knowledge, the world is trying to come to grips with this new reality. Agent Phil Coulson is back in action and has his eye on a mysterious group called the Rising Tide. In order to track this unseen, unknown enemy, he has assembled a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division). The group’s first assignment together as a team finds them trying to track down an ordinary man who has gained extraordinary powers. Powers that could have devastating consequences.

YEAH YEAH, its all about them bloody humans trying to control the superhumans...Remember the show ALPHAS? they are a few superhumans, working with their leader (ala Prof X) trying to find other superhumans and controlling them. It was a really good show, and then they bloody AXED it... And then there's Mutant X (with similar storyline ish). MARVEL went greedy and cancelled the show! indirectly or otherwise, they still CANCELLED IT.Then there's HEROES... also another good show, network not making enough money from it, so they cancelled it...

I can't help but get less and less excited for this effort. The more I find out about it the more it just seems like their sole motivation here is to cash in on the avengers success. I'm sure the pilot episode will be cool and ill watch this show but it just seems uninspired and it's hard to get excited over something completely uninspired. Something that's there just because. I'm way more excited for Arrow at this point and the debut of The Flash.

the best way to hook people on this show would be to have a marvel cameo, even a small one, in each episode. like a blind lawyer or a scientist, a young female singer who does her own lightings..i don't know..

I hate that I must admit this, but I'm looking more forward to this than I am to anything coming from Arrow. Arrow is a dark soap opera, always gloomy, always angsty. This show looks to be a bit like X-Files with a superhero leaning. I don't have much patience for tv shows.
